Peanut butter & Jelly (PBJ) Smoothie

A natural power couple of good taste and popularity: peanut butter and jelly. Apparently, the average American will eat 1,500 PBJ sandwiches before graduating high school. But while the classic sandwich is a crowd pleaser, but not necessarily super healthy, this smoothie version ticks all the boxes. Loaded with vitamins, protein, healthy fat and fiber. This recipe makes 2 servings.

Blend everything until smooth. This smoothie is cold and refreshing thanks to the frozen strawberries/raspberries and banana. Thereby, you can chill your drink without having to water it down by using ice cubes.

Banana hack: if you realize that your bananas are ripe but you might not be able to eat them all on time, peel them and store them in a container in your freezer. Thereby, you have a great ingredient for future smoothies ready at hand, which is thereby also serving as a natural chill factor.

Hi there!

I am Mareike and I currently live in Cologne, Germany with my family. My passion is making a house a cozy home where people feel welcome and enjoy great food.

I started Mareike’s Cozy Corner in early 2017 as it allows me to combine my passion for writing, cooking and baking as well as do-it-yourself cosmetics and home decorations. My initial motivation was sharing my take on classic American dishes, since my partner is from the US and I derive great joy from recreating a taste of home for him. The second motivator were the long list of healthy recipes, I had written in the last years. So why not share them with the world? Along the way, we became parents of the cutest little girl on earth, which made me start a section on parenting on this site as we realized how you can easily lose yourself in the deep sea of advice, checklists and tips.
